Multicolor FL Ricordea Mushroom Coral is a mushroom-type soft coral with multicolor coloration.

Its care profile favors gentle conditions and gradual acclimation rather than intense light or forceful circulation.

This is a WYSIWYG coral, meaning the coral shown in the photo is the exact piece you will receive.

Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Low to moderate lighting
• Flow: Low, indirect flow
• Placement: Lower reef areas or protected rockwork
• Temperament: Generally peaceful but can spread
• Care Level: Beginner to Moderate

Lighting

Provide low to moderate lighting. Start under gentler light, then acclimate gradually to avoid abrupt increases that can stress the coral.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow. Position it where water movement is gentle enough for the disc to expand normally without being pushed by a direct stream.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or on protected rockwork. Allow time to settle after introduction, and adjust placement gradually if lighting or flow needs refinement.

Temperament

It is generally peaceful, but it can spread over nearby rockwork. Leave room around the placement area and monitor neighboring corals as it establishes.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Occasional small foods may be accepted, but stable placement, suitable light, and gentle flow remain the main care priorities.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe the disc’s expansion after changes. Avoid sudden lighting increases and direct flow, especially if the coral remains contracted or does not expand normally. Make adjustments slowly and give it time to respond.

A gentle-flow placement and patient acclimation support reliable day-to-day care.
